Tree Trunks
I absolutely love trees. The simple fact that they live longer than humans (if they are let) and they are way more complex than we generally give them credit for. Scientists have discovered that trees communicate with each other through a gigantic network of microscopic fungi (called mycelial network) that enables them to exchange information with each other such as warnings, storing memories and responding to attacks. Also the trees and the fungi form a symbiotic relationship where they exchange resources such as organic matter and minerals. I think that is amazing and while I always loved trees, this understanding enhances my respect and admiration for them.
